This
document provides definitions, formats, references, and citations for
cryptographic algorithms, usage modes, and associated identifiers and
parameters used in support of Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) in the Internet
community. It is intended to become one member of the set of related PEM RFCs.
This document is organized into four primary sections, dealing with message
encryption algorithms, message integrity check algorithms, symmetric key
management algorithms, and asymmetric key management algorithms (including both
asymmetric encryption and asymmetric signature algorithms).
Some
parts of this material are cited by other documents and it is anticipated that
some of the material herein may be changed, added, or replaced without
affecting the citing documents. Therefore, algorithm-specific material has been
placed into this separate document.
Use
of other algorithms and/or modes will require case-by-case study to determine
applicability and constraints. The use of additional algorithms may be
documented first in Prototype or Experimental RFCs. As experience is gained,
these protocols may be considered for incorporation into the standard.
Additional algorithms and modes approved for use in PEM in this context will be
specified in successors to this document.
